9 short films, 9 women, 9 kinds of life, each of which uses a long lens. This not only requires the choreographer to be carefully designed and arranged, but also requires the actors to integrate the emotions of the characters in place. Several short films are well done. Although everyone’s life and destiny are different, they have their own bitterness and misfortune, distress and pain, delicate and kind, and moving. Although each short film has a common theme, it is a complete film, short film There is a little lack of connection between them, even if it is the connection between the characters, in order to better highlight the theme and highlight the uncertainty of life. It may be regret or luck. In any case, this is an excellent film.

Holly, Vanessa: [singing] "Row by row, I'm gonna make this garden grow. All it takes is a rake and a hoe, and a piece of fertile ground. Pulling weeds, pickin' stones, we are made from dreams and bones. I need a place to call my home, when rain comes tumblin' down".
